Product Description
by Matt Henry (Photographer)
Henry's artistic practices focus on the politics of America during the 1960s and 1970s. The works take the form of fictional narrative scenes staged across set-builds and dressed locations, where Henry employs his own prop and costume styling, storyboarding, and set design. The use of light and color in Henry's photographs is masterly, the perfection of his protagonists and still lives alluring, yet he maintains an ambiguity that challenges the viewer to address their own imagination in considering the works.
The imagery plays with fragments of American photography, cinema and literature from his chosen period to explore underlying ideological concerns.
